On Feb. 19, 75 years after the historic battle, Iwo Jima veterans Harold Ronson and Milton Harr sat down for a nice lunch with their wives. Ronson was just turning 18 when he went to battle and Harr was 19 in 1945. 

Michael Garey, owner of the Lazy Lobster, hosted the two men for lunch on the anniversary of Iwo Jima, as he has done every year since 2013. Garey had a table set up for the two men and American flags for celebrating the occasion.
